It is about the parts and their relatedness. Collaboration is about uniting, bringing together unique contributions towards a deeper shared purpose. It is about the parts and their relatedness and the whole. Parts coordination, parts-related cooperation, parts-related-in-whole collaboration–the 3 Co-s of parts-related-in-whole, the definition of a system.
